Ex-Husband and Ex-Fiancé Unite Over Adorable Surfing Clip of Tammy Hembrow's Youngest Daughter
In a heartwarming display of modern co-parenting, fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow's former partners have found common ground through their affection for her youngest child. Matt Poole, Hembrow's ex-fiancé, recently shared an endearing Instagram video capturing a surfing session with their three-year-old daughter Posy on Queensland's Gold Coast.
Surfing Adventure Sparks Family Bonding Moment
The captivating footage shows Poole, aged thirty-five, expertly guiding his enthusiastic daughter through the waves at Tallebudgera Beach. Despite challenging surf conditions, the determined toddler insisted on joining the Tallebudgera Nippers Junior Surf Life Saving Club for their weekly session.
"Not gonna lie, surf was kinda solid last week, but Po was adamant we were going out with the Talle kids," Poole revealed in his caption. "Clearly I was more worried than her haha… these are the memories we live for!!! I can't wait to do this with Parker (soon)." The latter reference pertains to his infant son with current partner Annelyse Oatway.
Supportive Exchange Between Former Partners
The charming video prompted numerous admiring responses from followers, including a particularly notable comment from Hembrow's ex-husband Matt Zukowski. The reality television personality simply wrote "So cute" beneath the post, initiating a friendly exchange between the two men.
Poole responded warmly to Zukowski's remark, writing "@mattzukowski crazy hey... full big girl now" alongside affectionate emojis. This interaction highlights their shared appreciation for Posy's development, despite their separate relationships with Hembrow.
Online Community Defends Supportive Dynamic
While one critical commenter described Zukowski's involvement as "weird," numerous supporters quickly defended the positive co-parenting arrangement. "Nothing weird about it – he was married to Posy's mum and obviously still cares," asserted one defender.
Another supporter emphasized: "Wow not at all. He was married to her mum. You still have time to delete this comment." A third observer summarized the prevailing sentiment: "He was Posy's stepdad, you expect him to be heartless?"
Recent Family Gatherings and Relationship Histories
This touching moment follows a recent airport reunion in Sydney where Hembrow, Poole, and their blended family traveled together comfortably. The group included Poole's partner Annelyse Oatway carrying their baby son Parker, while Posy walked happily alongside her father.
Hembrow and Poole initially publicized their romance in 2020, with Poole proposing aboard a private yacht in November 2021. Their daughter Posy arrived in June 2022, though the couple separated just seven months later.
Meanwhile, Hembrow's relationship with Zukowski progressed rapidly – they announced their engagement in December 2023 after merely three months of dating. The pair married at Château Du Soleil in Byron Bay during November 2024, but unfortunately dissolved their union after seven months.
"Both of us have struggled with making this decision, however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children," Zukowski explained via Instagram Story at the time. "This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten."
Beyond Posy, Hembrow co-parents two older children – Wolf (10) and Saskia (9) – with former fiancé Reece Hawkins. More recently, the fitness entrepreneur has been romantically linked with Australian Rules footballer Bailey Smith and twenty-two-year-old model Grayson Te Moana.
The heartening interaction between Hembrow's former partners demonstrates how modern families can maintain positive relationships centered around children's wellbeing, even following complex romantic histories.
